MEANINGFUL TO ME = Art. More specifically, abstract art. I LOVE being able to figure out what something means for me, and ponder what it may have meant (if anything) for the artist who created it. I love the texture, the color play -- all of it. I love that it isn't so obvious, that it isn't telling you what it's about. That it makes you feel, it makes you think.

Artist Misti Pavlov, "Portrait of a Stranger" #art #painting

Mistivlav Pavlov. I love artwork like this

Mistivlav Pavlov. I chose to pin this because I love the color scheme and mystery that it displays of the girl. This shows good use of contras on her skin and the texture reminds me of Claude Monet. Pavlov was an impressionist artist and the medium used in the piece is oil paint.

Portrait of a Stranger love the way this is painted looks like blending with brushes, splattered paint, and a knife tool

Waves. Inspiration for colors.

Wave painting #art #texture #color

"Oil paintings of waves by Maggi Hambling: 'Early each morning I go down to the sea and try to capture its mood by drawing, and each day is different. Back in the studio, these drawings become paintings. Whether they are tiny or cover the studio wall, I try to make the movement of the waves happen in the paint.'"

one of my most fav. paintings ever...Lady Godiva by John Collier. Lady Godiva, was an 11th century Anglo-Saxon noblewoman who, according to legend, rode naked through the streets of Coventry in order to gain a remission of the oppressive taxation imposed by her husband on his tenants. The name "Peeping Tom" for a voyeur originates from later versions of this legend in which a man named Tom had watched her ride and was struck blind or dead. Lady Godiva was the wife of Leofric, Earl of Mercia.
